The IEEE SPS Undergraduate Thesis Competition is an annual event organized by the
IEEE Signal Processing Society Sri Lanka Section Chapter. Launched in 2023, the
competition was held for the second time in 2024 at SLTC Research University,
Padukka. The purpose of this competition is to provide an opportunity for undergraduate
students and emerging researchers in Sri Lanka to showcase their signal processing skills.
Participants present their undergraduate theses as posters in front of an expert panel,
where their work is evaluated. This format allows students to receive valuable feedback
from experts, enabling them to refine and improve their projects.
This year's competition was held in collaboration with the Centre for
Telecommunications Research (CTR) at SLTC Research University. In parallel with the
thesis competition, a panel discussion on "Telco AI: Bringing AI into 5G and Beyond"
was conducted, featuring expert panelists from SLTC Research University, the University
of Sri Jayewardenepura, and the University of Moratuwa.
